Hi List,
I have a young & active female patient who is interested in long distance running. She is currently wearing a suction MAS socket, Mauch SnS knee unit and Elation Foot. She has a very long residual limb with excellent strength and ROM in the hip of the affected side.
I am interested in fitting her with a Flex-Run foot to meet her goals. As I have no experience with this foot or fitting a transfemoral amputee with a running foot, I was hoping to get some input regarding foot choice, hydraulic adjustments, alignment adjsutments and any other words of wisdom that may save both myself and my client time and trouble.
Thanks in advance,
W.James Little, B.Sc., C.P.(c)
